Cotto vs Pacquiao: A Boxing Match?

[jazluvr]

If they box, Pac is too damn fast for Cotto. He needs to disrupt Pac wit his jab and jump on him. Don't stop at the jab and a quick flurry here n there to score points. Cotto gotta use his size to win a rough fight, not try to outbox Pac.

Yep...i think if he stops using the jab or pauses one too many times, Pac is gonna be all over him like beez on ****. This is the biggest-most important fight of Cotto's
life and he better play his cards right, which I know he's capable of, and pretty confident he will.

Thats why I gave Pac the boxing nod. He needs to box in order to beat Cotto, no way will he last long fighting inside against Cotto, he's too damn big and tough for Pac.

I predict that Pac will be fighting much like he did in DLH, turning Cotto and coming in for flurries when his angles open up.

ye and roach said the same thing as well. their gameplan is to hit and not get hit


i dont see cotto going past 6 thou, manny is just too much right now

i agree with cotto probably taking the cake.. but not by much... i'll tell you one thing.. cotto better not try to box cause if he does, he's not gonna get the decision no matter how many punches he lands.. he needs a knockout to win this fight..

Agreed;
I don't know about a KO being needed, though you might be right. A KO seems inevitable in this fight.
My opinion on a win for either fighter is....it's going to be a very convincing, definate win. I just don't see this fight being a close decision. These 2 guys are too freakin' deadly to be civil...lol. It's gonna be hell in the ring on the 14th!
